Unfogging the Future is a book on the subject of Divination written by the celebrated Seer, Cassandra Vablatsky, and published by Rumiharts Books.[1] During Harry Potter's time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the book was a required textbook for students taking Divination studies from third year onwards.
